Peculiar Customs Obtaining Among These
Peace-Loying People.

Pesce-Loying People.
The history Of the Amish in the
Concstoga valley is interesting. They
arc an ofTshoot from the Mennonites,
founded in Alsace By Jacob Amman in
the year 1853. Their special tcncts
were plainncss in dress, absolute sep
aratiOn from the cxcOmmunicatcd and
washing Of feet. They came into this
valley from the little settlement in the
Blue MOuntains. found it a wilderness,
lived in rudcly-construetcd log houses
at first, but by persistent toll soon
made it bloom like paradise. Jacob
Mast. Of former generations, was the
first preacher, and the calling has not
since fallen out Of the family. The
three distinguishing marks Of their be-
lief are: Ignoring Of infant baptism,
the wrong Of taking an oath and tho
sin Of bearing arms.
The Amish are peace-loying people.
They never 90 90 law, unless com
PEELED by those outside Of their faith.
They settle all wrongs among them
selves by appearing before the Bishop,
in the presence Of witnesses. They
leave no man Of their faith 20 go

is good, he is very good; if bad, very
bad" They are out on the open field,
and are yet fair Of skin. Their album
dance Of hair and broad-rimmcd hats
shelter their faces, and they have cor
rect habits. Nor atc there any bald
heads among them, or many that III ear
glasses, fact entirely accounted for by
the strcngth-prcserying elements in un-
cut hair. They are long-liycd, and it
may be said Of them, rs Of the Iosc-
mite people Of whom the impression
was that "thcy are never sick and never
die" few are sick, all die, but it is
about the last thing they do. They arc
closc-mouthcd. and keep their secrets
and their troubles entirely TO them
selves They have no particular faith in
education, and it is only within the last
years that a school house was built in
the valley. An Amish director recently
resisted the six-mOnths session, advo-
eating the four-months term rs suili-
ccnt. The daughters graduate at twelve
years Of age, and it i, said of an Amish
